Connecticut

Compassion & Choices is helping guide legislation that will make aid in dying accessible to terminally ill residents of Connecticut.

With support from its co-chair, the joint Judiciary Committee in the legislature is likely to take up a death-with-dignity bill in early 2015. Currently the Connecticut team is working with supportive lawmakers on the bill’s language. With increasingly positive media coverage of aid in dying in and an aggressive grass roots, progress continues towards passing a bill.

The Fight for Aid-in-Dying in Connecticut

This wonderful video was created by Thomas Evans with special thanks to Dr. Gary Blick, Gloria Blick and former Deputy Speaker Betsy Ritter for their advocacy on behalf of end of life choice.

Our Connecticut team came closer than ever to passing an aid-in-dying bill last legislative session.

Compassion & Choices continues to work with supportive lawmakers and committed activists in the state to be in a strong position for the next round. Contact our Connecticut campaign manager, Tim Appleton ([email protected] or call 800-409-3137), to learn how you can help right now!
